MICHAEL PROCTOR?S late equaliser salvaged a dramatic point for Rotherham to prove that Ronnie Moore?s men have not given up the fight against relegation just yet.

Proctor climbed off the bench to blaze home an 80th-minute leveller and complete an incredible fightback from the Millers.

Teenager Joe Ledley scored his second goal in a week on 69 minutes to fire Cardiff towards what looked like a deserved win.

Paul Parry added a second five minutes later to leave Moore?s men with a mountain to climb, but they hit back with two quick goals of their own to leave the visitors stunned.

Paul McLaren pulled one back with 14 minutes left before former Sunderland star Proctor sent a looping effort over Tony Warner to complete the fightback.

The result still left Moore?s men without a win this season and failed to lift them off the bottom of the table ? but at least home fans know their side has the stomach for what promises to be a long, hard battle.

Chance

The Millers made a bright start with Paul Warne getting the better of Daniel Gabbidon but his cross was well blocked by James Collins with Richie Barker waiting to pounce.

Yet Cardiff still looked the more dangerous side going forward. Rotherham were living off scraps but still missed a glorious chance to take the lead on 25 minutes when Chris Sedgwick?s cross evaded a host of defenders to find Rob Scott unmarked at the far post.

Scott had time to pick his spot with a clear shooting chance but sliced his effort wide to let the visitors off the hook.

Graham Kavanagh did beat Pollitt with a low drive but his effort clipped the goalkeeper?s right-hand post.

It was Cardiff?s turn to live dangerously eight minutes before the break when Darren Williams cleared a Martin McIntosh header off the line.

Parry tried his luck from long range in a bid to break the stalemate but never had enough venom in the shot to beat Pollitt.
